Maximus: "At my signal, unleash hell!"Well boys and girls, Hinderer knives has done just that and then some! Rick has been intrigued by the idea for some time and has been refining his design concept for a few years now to get it 'just right'. When you get a hold of the Maximus, you will agree immediately that he nailed it.

The Blade: Bayonet grind has a cool old school vibe, with a dagger profile and forward upper swedge. The top edge is unsharpened to make closing a bit easier yet keeps the slim profile for excellent slicing and general use. Finished with black DLC finish.

Notes on DLC Finishes: This is a heads up for those not up to speed with DLC coatings (or pretty much any any coating or finish). Let us break it down for ya: you probably have been fortunate enough at one point in time get to paint the interior of your house. Lucky for you, the decided hue is some really special and unique color not available in the pre-made buckets. You do some math to figure out how much each room needs, so you can get enough in one go. But why do all those maths? Why not just get a bit, and if you run out get more? Well, because with any paint that needs to be made up, each batch can vary slightly. Every batch might be close to one another, but not exact. Furthermore, say you have the same color, but get part made up in an eggshell sheen, and some in a satin sheen. The colors might be about the same, but they are gonna look WAY different. Suddenly, your interior walls ain't matching up perfectly. Well, this same exact logic applies to coatings! Batch to batch, the colors of the coating may or may not match exactly! Furthermore, depending on the finish and prep of the metal prior to the coating, there will be variation on sheen and shade for the same color finish. Now, for the walls in your house, it might be a big deal if they don't match perfectly. Fortunately, having each of your hard use tools and the parts on them matching up perfectly to one another isn't so big a deal! If it is... well maybe you should be matching up your Barbie collection's outfits instead.
